“How much?”

“50 for a blowjob, 200 for a backdoor entrance. No regular shit, I can’t do that anymore.”

Dawet looked at the empty building on the other side, wondering if he’ll ever see her again…and why burning bridges was so much easier.

He barely noticed when bony fingers ripped the 50 bill from his shaking hand, instinctively spreading his legs when she sank to her knees.

“Wilvia…” he sighed heavily.

“My name is Anne.”

Two empty chairs on the other side stared back…mocking him for wasting a life he never deserved to have.

This leaves mecringing too, for different reasons. I echo the other comments about the superb writing and the setting of the scene, but I can’t really feel all that sorry for the guy. He degrades himself, but what about the prostitute? Many of them don’t chose this path because they want it. Her humiliation is doubled, with the horrible job, and with the name-calling, even if she’s used to it.

I think it’s a nice tie-in (added music). During my undergrad, I wrote a creative non-fiction with a track list as an appendix. While my peers thought it was an added aesthetic feature, the Prof felt it was distracting and confusing. Methinks we are ahead of our time. Keep creating, blended media is sure to take off. As the audience evolves and the millennials come-up, I think “blended” will be the way to roll.
